Steve McQueen's Triumph from "The Great Escape"

For this week's bike I had asked for suggestions on Brown Dog Welding's Fanpage. The first one I got back was the Triumph that McQueen rode in "The Great Escape," and I thought that was a great idea. I've been told over and over again to see that flick, so last night I finally did. It's definitely a classic for good reason.

Here's a clip of the famous jump, where stuntman Bud Ekins jumps the Triumph over a 6' fence.



And here's my version of the TR6, it's up for bidding now and all proceeds go to charity.

The "knobby" tires are a first, I'm happy with how they look!

Harley "Ironman" Motorcycle Sculpture

This week's Chopper for Charity was inspired by this '74 Custom Sportster.

"Ironman" is a pretty mean looking piece with the short pipes, ape hangers, and the suicide shifter. Keep up on the bidding here!







And a shot for size perspective(yes, I love sugar)

This is the 18th Year of the Chopper sculpture, it's a '72 BSA Lightning. One more day left to bid!

As a reminder, the YOTC bikes that do not sell at auction are available in the Choppers for Charity section in my online store.
